Win Wristbands to
Blackpool
Pleasure Beach!
School’s out for summer and we’ve teamed up with
Blackpool Pleasure Beach to offer one lucky winner a
‘Family of Four’ Wristband.
Family thrills and memories that will last a lifetime
are assured and there’s plenty to keep all ages
amused on the 42-acre attraction.
If you have a head for heights, the UK’s tallest roller
coaster, The Big One, offers high-speed drops and
breath-taking views. If you like your world to be
turned upside down take your pick from Infusion,
Revolution or our newest addition to the line-up,
ICON.
Dare to ride ICON, the UK’s first double launch
rollercoaster delivering an exhilarating experience
as you’re catapulted forward at speeds of
a Formula One racing driver,
cutting through The Big
One and twisting around the Steeplechase and Big
Dipper. Just when you think you’ve paused to catch
your breath, you’re off again, projected forward at
staggering speeds giving even the bravest of thrill
seekers an unforgettable experience.
Get ready to immerse your senses on Infusion the
UK’s only suspended looping coaster completely
over water with 5 incredible loops and rolls and
a double line twist. Turn your world upside down
and get ready to do it in reverse on the 360-degree
Revolution.
Up once, down once, halfway up and back again for
an incredible hair-raising free-fall descent, that’s Ice
Blast, a 210ft tower catapulting riders vertically up at
80mph.
Be prepared to get wet on Valhalla, voted the best
water ride in the world. Take a journey through
blazing fires, breath-taking waterfalls, freezing
mists, snow and ice and the storms
of Thor.
